Spring 2025 Service Calendar
The ECU Transit Service Calendar is posted by academic term and outlines all service exceptions and other important dates for a given semester. Service exceptions are planned in advance and occur when service is modified or canceled on a specific date, typically due to holidays, events, academic breaks, or other planned events that impact the university calendar. Unless otherwise noted, normal service will operate as scheduled.
Should changes in service occur due to weather or other unplanned events, notice will be posed online to our website and social media accounts. Additionally, you can text ECU SUB RIDE to 22827 to sign up for text message alerts to be notified if a change of schedule occurs.
